Thank you for your interest in applying for friendship!

Our children met on the school playground and seem to like each other. We would love to encourage this budding friendship but require some additional information to ensure the match is a suitable one. We hold our child’s friends to the highest standards, or more accurately, we hold their parents to the highest income bracket. As superficial people with an exaggerated respect for wealth and high social status, we want to ensure that when we tell people who are our children’s friends are, and more importantly, what their parents own, they will know the children come from good breeding and outstanding vacation homes we can visit and then brag about!

My new book, “Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir. How I Got Pregnant. Lost Myself, and Got My Cool Back in the New Jersey Suburbs” is now available. To get a copy for you or a cool mom you love, CLICK HERE
